Take a close look. That is for Windows NT 3.10 which is a
different thing than Windows 3.10.

Post a link.

There are several sets of images, if you just Google "Windows 3.1"

Nice try, but that's not Windows 3.1.

I goofed on that last post. From the looks of it, the shutdown may
originate from the file selection as "Exit Windows".
Can't find an actual screenshot tho.

What is the point of that stupid link ?
I know how to search with Google.
Which one of those multiple images shows a Windows 3.1 taskbar ?
Try actually thinking before posting a comment.

Take a close look. That is for Windows NT 3.10 which is a
different thing than Windows 3.10.

NT was what I was using at the time, so I thought I recalled that it was
generally the same interface. Thanks to all for corrections.

Hey, this is USENET. It is almost required.

I have missed whole versions of Windows since so I am normally
quite leery about claiming that something was introduced in a
particular version. BUT back when I was younger ... dinosaurs, snow,
uphill both ways, Windows 3.x, etc. ...

Sincerely,

Gene Wirchenko

Try being a bit more civil. I also posted a retraction.
It appears that you have to click on file to exit windows... but IIRC, I
didn't and just shut down the machine because win3.1 was a co-operative
multi-tasking system not pre-emptive.
